Zheng Zheng has never been a brainless person, not that if you want to do an antique shop, you have to hang yourself on the antique tree. Since he saw that antiques were not popular with the masses and were not close enough to the people, Zheng Zheng turned his mind to other things.

After pondering it, Zheng Zheng set his eyes on the jade.

Jade and antiques are basically inseparable, and when it comes to antiques, even a layman can think of ancient jade or something, because this thing itself exudes an ancient meaning. Older jade is worth a lot of money, but in the same way, jade with good enough material and good quality, even if it is freshly carved, it can still be sold for a good price.

Zheng Zheng was taught antiques by the old man at home since he was a child, and he also had a lot of knowledge in jade, and later he had a lot of contact with jade in Donglai Pavilion, so Zheng Zheng is really no stranger to this business.

The jade industry and the antiques industry have something in common, that is, there is no clear pricing standard for this kind of thing. It's not like gold or silver or anything like that, there's a clear market price for how much is per gram.

The price of antiques depends on the age and whether it is from a celebrity, while jade depends on the color and size of the origin, which is not a universal standard. The price of a jade pendant with good carving and general jade quality from the hands of the jade carver may only be about 100 yuan, but after it is transferred to the store, the price of this jade pendant is basically not a problem to sell for six or seven hundred, if it is in some high-grade stores, the price is higher.

Judging by the price alone, this jade business is not very profitable, at least compared to the antique shop. However, if you buy 700 yuan for 100 yuan and sell it, this is a profit of 1 to 7, which is already a huge profit in terms of profit. But this has to be in addition to the kind of small stall vendors on the market, which is simply a fake jade with stained glass. The cost price of that kind of thing is at most one or two yuan, but you dare to sell it for forty or fifty yuan when you open your mouth, which is really incomparable if you compare the interest rate alone.

In the past few days when Zheng Zhengqing has been free, he has been pondering this matter, and at the same time, he has also searched for news about the jade market and origin on the Internet. Although Zheng Zheng, the main jade producing area in circulation on the market, is clear, but it is not enough to know this, it is still necessary to find a more reliable and formed jade trading market, otherwise even if it goes to the jade producing area, it will be empty.

These days, I have also found a lot of news, but there are few reliable ones. Zheng Zheng pondered, forget it, let's go to the cities where jade is produced first. Anyway, with his own eyesight, he is not afraid that someone will use stained glass or something to blind himself.

After deciding where to go, Zheng Zheng informed Xie Miao to start preparing antiques for the opening of the black market. Before the black market opens, Zheng Zheng will leave Huayin City, so that even if the police have the heart to keep an eye on him, it will be okay.

When Bai Xiaoxue came back, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Miao left early, and after having dinner with Bai Xiaoxue, Zheng Zheng said that he was going out in the next two days. Zheng Zheng also mentioned this matter to Bai Xiaoxue, but he never gave the specific time, Bai Xiaoxue also knew, and it was not surprising to hear Zheng Zheng mention it now, Zheng Zheng usually went out to run errands Bai Xiaoxue was also used to it, but he was not not used to it.

Zheng Zheng already had a plan in his heart for where he was going, but because he didn't have an accurate goal, he was destined to turn around in those jade producing areas.

For this first stop, Zheng Zheng set in River City. Hecheng is not one of the jade producing areas, but it is not far from the Hetian jade producing area, and it is only a morning's work to take a plane from the provincial capital to Hecheng, which is much more convenient.

The next day, Zheng Zheng went to book a ticket to River City a day later, and then turned back to Non Guxuan to accompany Bai Xiaoxue.

This separation is at least ten days and half a month, and the two are also very reluctant. Zheng Zheng pondered, yes, Gu Xuan didn't open the door all day, and he was all on the bed with Bai Xiaoxue.

Bai Xiaoxue was originally very shy between the sheets, but this time she cooperated with Zheng Zheng to play a lot of tricks that she usually refused. Watching Bai Xiaoxue straddle her waist and hips, twisting her waist and moving her hips shyly and timidly under the sunlight coming in from the window, swallowing Zheng Zheng's clone with her pink flowers, and then subconsciously swaying her body gently in the low **, Zheng Zheng really realized what it was like to be "White Sun Xuanyin".

The next day, Zheng Zheng said goodbye to the reluctant Bai Xiaoxue with a travel bag on his back, and got on the bus bound for the provincial capital.

In addition to a change of clothes, there is another thing that is extremely important to Zheng Zheng in this bag, that is, the bronze scales that Zheng Zheng has not used for a long time.

Since he learned that frequent use of this bronze scales would cause damage to his body, even if this bronze scales were beaten into the cold palace, Zheng Zheng never used them again. However, after soaking in the medicinal bath for such a long time, the changes in Zheng Zheng's body are obvious, and a lot can be seen from the degree of recovery after the last injury. Zheng Zheng pondered, even if the use of the bronze scales would cause some damage to his body, the previous damage should be filled by the effect of the medicinal bath, and according to his physical condition, the effect of the medicinal bath is even surplus, and now if he uses it from time to time, it should not be a problem.

Although Zheng Zheng's own ability to identify antiques is not bad, he knows how many catties he has, and he may not be able to see the details of some things, and he can't set the price. Now go out with the bronze scale, if you encounter any difficult problems, the bronze balance can be regarded as helpful, after all, he only has a dabbling in jade, which is not his specialty, with a bronze scale, Zheng Zheng does not have so many worries.

After getting off the bus, Zheng Zheng went straight to the airport, and after all the processes were busy, Zheng Zheng finally sat down in his seat.

After a short wait, the plane took off.

Before the plane took off, the flight attendant asked the passengers to turn off their mobile phones, and Zheng Zheng didn't have a way to pass the time, so he simply observed the passengers who took the plane together. For Zheng Zheng, observing what a person is probably doing from their clothes and expressions, and guessing what he is going to do, is also a way to pass the time and improve his ability to observe others. Although this seems quite boring to others, Zheng Zheng usually likes to ponder people's hearts, and this kind of thing is quite interesting to him.

Looking at it, the conversation between the two people in the seat next to him attracted Zheng Zheng's attention.

The two of them were next to each other, one was middle-aged, and he had to be forty or fifty years old, rich, well-dressed, and seemed to have a lot of wealth, but he was not the kind of nouveau riche who broke out overnight and showed the atmosphere of the outbreak everywhere; the one next to him was a young man, looking in his thirties, dressed quite neatly, and looking very shrewd.

Originally, Zheng Zheng didn't pay much attention to the chatting between these two people, but he happened to hear the young man talking to the middle-aged man, and Zheng Zheng pondered that these two people should not be acquaintances. The journey was boring, and it was normal to chat with neighbors, and Zheng Zheng didn't take it to heart.

However, after a few more glances over there and listening to the topic that the two were talking about, Zheng Zheng felt a little interesting, and listened attentively to the two chatting.

I only heard the young man say to the middle-aged man, "...... You just say this diamond, this diamond pays attention to the 4C standard, you know the 4C standard, right?"

The middle-aged man is also bored on the journey, and he thinks it's good to meet a chatty neighbor to talk to him, he shook his head and smiled: "This ...... I really don't have a lot of contact. ”

"Then I'll be ugly and tell you this. When the young man heard this, he smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "This so-called 4C standard actually refers to the carat, color, cut and clarity of diamonds. In terms of this color, colorless diamonds are the best, and the darker the tone, the worse the quality...... In fact, it's just a joke, a fool's talk, and it's just something that has been hyped up. There are also grads of color for this diamond, which are basically divided into eleven grades, of which D diamonds are the top diamonds. ”

"In addition to this color, the clarity of this diamond is also very particular, basically from high to low, it can be divided into FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, SI3, P1, P2, P3. If you take a diamond and look closely at it under a 10x microscope, you can see the difference, the more imperfections there are, the more obvious the location of the diamond, and the worse the quality. ”

"The FL level means that it is flawless, even when viewed under a ten-fold magnifying glass, there are no flaws inside and out. The IF level is slightly worse, the interior is flawless, and there are only slight flower marks on the surface under ten times magnification. VVS1 and VVS2 mean that the defect is very, very small, and there are imperfections that are difficult to see under a magnifying glass. VS1 and VS2 are very small, and the flaws are visible under magnification, but they are difficult to discern with the naked eye. The grades SI1 and SI2 as well as I1, I2 and I3 mean that the diamond has visible flaws, and the difference is only the size of the flaws. ”

"The weight of the diamond is much higher than the price of a diamond less than a carat, a carat diamond is only one point different from a 99-point diamond, but the price difference is too great, and that's the difference between a full carat and a non-carat diamond. ”

"When it comes to weight, we have to talk about the cut of the diamond. The cut of a diamond is to make the diamond more brilliant, and generally speaking, the perfect cut is the diamond cut of the pentahedron, but some people say that the pentahedron diamond has a more brilliant fire, can reflect light better, and looks more beautiful. Of course, this is a matter of opinion, but I personally think that the pentahedron is a perfect cut......

The young man was talking endlessly, and the middle-aged man on the side nodded his head again and again.
